Robert Karlsson finished third at the Seahawk Invitational thanks to back-to-back sub-70 rounds and finishing the two-day event with a four-under par 212.
Robert Karlsson fired the low round of the day on Tuesday, but it was not enough to help Liberty climb any higher than sixth place in the final team standings at the Seahawk Invitational. As a team, Liberty had the fourth-lowest round of the day, carding an even par 288. However, it could not help the Flames overcome their opening round on Sunday, as No. 31/33 Liberty (Golfstat/Golfweek) finished the two-day, 54-hole event in sixth place with a 17-over par 881 (309-284-288). No. 51/45 East Carolina took the team title, easily winning the Seahawk Invitational by nine strokes with an even par 864 (296-282-286). No. 45/41 Wake Forest took second place with a nine-over par 873 (292-292-289), followed by South Carolina, who finished in third place with an 11-over par 875 (298-293-284). Rounding out the top five teams in the field were No. 26/22 Chattanooga, who took fourth place with a 15-over par 879 (300-288-291), while host UNC Wilmington finished fifth on their home Country Club of Landfall course with a 16-over par 880 (299-294-287). South Carolina's Wesley Bryan was the only golfer in the 66-man field to break par all three rounds, capturing individual medalist honors with a seven-under par 209 (68-71-70). Competing as an individual, Wake Forest's Cryus Stewart took second place, with the Demon Deacons' golfer firing a five-under par 211 (71-72-68). Karlsson, who was individually ranked No. 27 coming into the event by Golfweek, tied his low round of the season on Monday to secure third place. The senior finished the event with a four-under par 212 (77-68-67), carding back-to-back sub-70 rounds on the par-72 Jack Nicklaus designed golf course. Karlsson's four-under par 212 marks the second tournament of the season the two-time Big South Golfer of the Year has finished in red figures and the 18th time of his four-year career. Liberty's next three golfers managed to finish inside the Top 30, starting with a 21st place finish by Mathieu Fenasse. The freshman posted a seven-over par 223 (79-68-76) to secure his second career Top 25 finish. Ian McConnell (76-75-73) and Max McKay (77-73-75) followed one and two strokes behind Fenasse. McConnell shared 24th place with an eight-over par 224, while McKay carded a nine-over par 225 to grab a share of 29th place in the final individual standings. Chase Marinell rounded out Liberty's starting five at the event. Last year's Big South Freshman of the Year continued to rebound from a tough opening 18 holes, tying for 40th place with a 14-over par 230 (81-76-73). For the fourth year in a row, Liberty will return to the Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, S.C., to participate in the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate. The two-day, 54-hole event, hosted by USC Aiken and contested at the fourth oldest golf course in the United States, will begin with 36 holes of action on March 5 and conclude with a final 18 holes on March 6.

The Truxton
Beautiful in its simplicity - limitless in its range. For nearly 60 years the single cutaway design has provided a platform for country to modern rock guitar and everything in between.
How do you improve a legendary design? K-Line's done it by using top notch components mated to the proper tonewoods with the best electronics. The Truxton Vintage bears the standard single coil pickups and hardware configuration of the traditional single cutaway guitars from the past.
Looking for something a little different from standard single coil pickups? The K-Line Truxton Special offers the choice of P90, mini humbucker or Firebird pickups. After a tireless search we have found the best bridge system for the Truxton Special in the Hipshot Hardtail. It achieves a piano-like tone that resonates for days! Also, the Hipshot Hardtail spacing allows for proper pole and string spacing.
Just in. Specs coming soon.
Review of Truxton from The ToneQuest Report
"The Truxton is Kronlein's take on a Tele, and while you can order
this guitar with traditional Tele-style pickups and bridge, ours
was equipped with dual Klein'50s wind' P90s and a very cool
Hipshot bridge. The body is madefrom ash with an interesting
grain pattern revealed beneath thetobacco burst finish, yielding a
6.7 pound featherweight. We're betting it's the K-Line necks that
owners of these guitars rave about the most, because the neck
carve, rolled fingerboard edges and fret work are exceptional
in concept and execution, and very much unlike anything
you're apt to find in a production instrument. The maple neck
on the Truxton is a full U shape with plenty of depth and
shoulder to promote resonance and sustain, but it stops short
of being cumbersome and unwieldy. It just feels right, as do
the medium frets and the artfully rolled fingerboard edges.
In fact, all three K-Line guitars immediately impressed us as
being exceptionally, supremely playable in terms of the over-all
feel of the neck and setup. It's rare that we pick up a guitar
and not find something that needs to be changed or adjusted,
or that we wish had been done differently with the design, but
we happily played the K-Lines pretty much as is. The Truxton
sounds like a great Tele in all three pickup positions, but the
P90s seem to fill in the middle frequencies a bit more with a
little less zing and twang. It's a great hybrid tone that leaves
you free to cover a lot of musical space that won't automatically
be pegged as having originated from a Tele, but you'll still do so with plenty of swagger and attitude when required."

| 13°C Belfast
The Queen has said that Britain and Ireland shall "no longer allow our past to ensnare our future" at a historic state banquet in honour of President Michael D Higgins.
Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister and ex-IRA commander Martin McGuinness stood and joined in a toast to the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the people of the UK as an orchestra played God Save The Queen.
The banquet is being held at the Queen's home, Windsor Castle, where the President is staying with his wife Sabina, and is made all the more significant due to the presence of Mr McGuinness - a move unthinkable only a decade ago.
In her speech, in front of the political elite and stars including Daniel Day-Lewis, Dame Judi Dench and Irish rugby hero Brian O'Driscoll, the Queen said the goal of modern British-Irish relations can be "simply stated".
She said: "It is that we, who inhabit these islands, should live together as neighbours and friends. Respectful of each other's nationhood, sovereignty and traditions.
"Cooperating to our mutual benefit. At ease in each other's company.
"After so much chequered history, the avoidable and regrettable pain of which is still felt by many of us, this goal is now within reach.
"I started by speaking of ten centuries of history. But there is a balance to be struck between looking back at what has happened, and cannot be changed; and looking forward to what could happen, if we have the will and determination to shape it.
"My visit to Ireland, and your visit this week, Mr President, show that we are walking together towards a brighter, more settled future.
"We will remember our past, but we shall no longer allow our past to ensnare our future. This is the greatest gift we can give to succeeding generations."
The Queen also made a witty reference to her famous appearance in the London 2012 opening ceremony, saying: "And it took someone of Irish descent, Danny Boyle, to get me to jump from a helicopter."
The Queen shook hands with all the guests at the banquet, including Mr McGuinness.
The highly successful state visit to Ireland by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in May 2011 paved the way for the return by President Higgins and makes the attendance of Mr McGuinness at the royals' home, the latest in a series of recent milestones in Anglo-Irish relations.
Just hours before the banquet the sister of a woman killed in the Birmingham pub bombings called for the arrest of Mr McGuinness.
Julie Hambleton, whose 18-year-old sister Maxine died in the atrocity, was taking part in a small demonstration outside Windsor Castle calling for justice for the victims of the bombings.
Ms Hambleton expressed anger at the British establishment for giving "permission" to Mr McGuinness to "come on to the mainland", adding: "By rights he should be arrested. He's got so much blood on his hands."
She described his attendance at the event as "the epitome of hypocrisy".
Mr McGuinness is seated next to President of the Royal Society Sir Paul Nurse and Director of Liberty Shami Chakrabarti.
The Queen said she and the Duke recall their visit to Ireland "with great pleasure" and said they were left with a "happy and enduring impression".
In his speech, which featured a few words of Irish, President Higgins made reference to the Queen's historic visit to Ireland, in which she "admirably" did not "shy away from the shadows of the past".
He said: "Your gracious and genuine curiosity, your evident delight in that visit, including its equine dimension, made it very easy for us to express to you and, through you to the British people, the warmth of neighbourly feelings.
"It laid the basis for an authentic and ethical hospitality between our two countries. "Admirably, you chose not to shy away from the shadows of the past, recognising that they cannot be ignored when we consider the relationship between our islands."
President Higgins said her "apt and considered words when you addressed some of the painful moments of our mutual history" were valued.
He said people were "moved" by the Queen's gestures of respect at sites of national historical significance in Ireland. "These memorable moments and these moving words merit our appreciation and, even more, our reciprocity.
"While the past must be respectfully recognised, it must not imperil the potential of the present or the possibilities of the future - ar feidireachtai gan teorainn - our endless possibilities working together," he said.
President Higgins described his visit as "a very visible sign of the warmth and maturity of the relationship between our two countries".
Adding: "It is something to be truly welcomed and celebrated."
He said Ireland and Britain "live in both the shadow and in the shelter of one another, and so it has been since the dawn of history".
He added: "Through conquest and resistance, we have cast shadows on each other, but we have also gained strength from one another as neighbours and, most especially, from the contribution of those who have travelled between our islands in recent decades."
Like the Queen, President Higgins made reference to the "extensive" contribution of Irish men and Irish women to life in Britain. He said: "It runs from building canals, roads and bridges in previous decades, to running major companies in the present, all the while pouring Irish personality and imagination into the English language and its literature."
The Queen acknowledged the "discrimination and a lack of appreciation" once faced by Irish people in Britain.
Adding: "Happily, those days are now behind us, and it is widely recognised that Britain is a better place because of the Irish people who live here."
The Queen also made reference to the peace process in Northern Ireland.
"Our two governments will continue to work together in Northern Ireland to support the First and Deputy First Minister and the Executive to advance the peace process and to establish a shared society based on mutual respect and equality of opportunity," she said.
The Queen is wearing the official Diamond Jubilee white silk and lace dress designed by Angela kelly, and the Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia Tiara which has droplets of emeralds.
In the splendour of Saint George's Hall, Hollywood stars Day-Lewis and Dame Judi, rugby legend O'Driscoll and his actress wife Amy Huberman, hat designer Philip Treacy, sculptor Sir Antony Gormley, and Sir Terry Wogan are sitting around a polished table set for 160 guests.
The Queen is sitting to the left of President Higgins and the Duchess of Cornwall is sitting on his right hand side.
Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband are also in attendance, with the First Minister of Northern Ireland Peter Robinson, Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers.
Other members of the royal family at the banquet include the Prince of Wales who is sitting next to President Higgins' wife Sabina, and the Duke of Edinburgh is sitting on her other side.
Former Irish President Mary McAleese is also at the banquet. Nearing the end of his speech, President Higgins said: "The shadow of the past has become the shelter of the present.
"While we grieve together for lost lives, we will not let any painful aspect of our shared history deflect us from crafting a future that offers hope and opportunity for the British and Irish people."
President Higgins invited guests to stand and join him in a toast to the health and happiness of the Queen and Prince Philip and the people of the UK.
Mr McGuinness stood up and participated in the toast as the orchestra played God Save The Queen.
Earlier today, President Higgins bowed his head in a mark of respect at a plaque in memory of the Queen's cousin Lord Mountbatten in Westminster Abbey, assassinated by the IRA on holidays in Ireland in 1979. The President was there to pay respects at the tomb of the unknown warrior.

Jazz singer Rene Marie was invited to sing the National Anthem at Mayor John Hickenlooper's State of the City address today. Instead, Marie sang what is known as the Black National Anthem, sparking outrage among some of the estimated 700 people who attended the ceremony.
Related LinksVIDEO: Watch the singing of the anthem (14 minutes into video)
Denver's City Council president is getting hammered with hate-filled messages in response to Tuesday's surprise performance of the "Black National Anthem" by a jazz singer during a city event.
Chanteuse René Marie had been invited by Mayor John Hickenlooper's office to sing the national anthem during his annual State of the City address.
Council President Michael Hancock, the master of ceremonies, introduced Marie, who sang what is known as the "Black National Anthem" instead.
Her performance evoked angry reactions among some of the estimated 700 people at the event.
"There is no substitute for the national anthem. Period," Councilman Charlie Brown said.
"This is the State of the City address. It's not an NAACP convention," he said, referring to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Hickenlooper and his staff said they expected Marie to sing the "The Star-Spangled Banner" and that they were surprised when she sang something different.
In a statement late Tuesday, Hickenlooper said: "I'm disappointed that this matter has been a distraction from the great work and significant accomplishments of our city employees over the past year and the many important initiatives on tap for the coming year."
Hickenlooper said in an interview that he spoke to Marie after the ceremony and that she apologized profusely.

Welcome to RedWolf Airsoft,
You've been selected to try the beta version of our new online store.
Would you like to try our completely new experience?
You've seen it in the movies, you've done it in the games... Now it's time to carry it over to Airsoft! FIRE IN THE HOLE!
The Chinese have invented quite a lot of things, and not all of the inventions are aggressive in nature, such as fireworks. But some are, and a prime example of this are hand grenades, which, unlike fireworks, were certainly not used to drive evil spirits away.
Fast forward to the latter events of the second world war, we have "Die Amis" and "The Krauts" toe to toe in trenches and ruins on European soil. At close ranges like this, artillery and heavy grenade launchers can't be used effectively because of the high probability of causing casualties among your own side, so the individual soldiers carried grenades with them.
One of the most easily recognized model is the MK II fragmentation grenade, briefly mentioned in our GAMMA M-33 Claymore article. Its distinct pineapple shape has made it an icon in modern pop culture, and with the German Model 24 "Potato Masher" it is a widely recognized military item. The MK II sure looks intimidating with its deep grooves, which give the impression that it would explode into large chunks. However, the serrated surface pattern was only added to improve grip, and it doesn't affect the fragmentation. The MK II was used from WWII to the Vietnam War, and was then phased out gradually.
The M26 "lemon" is an updated version of the MK II. It has a smooth surface, which makes the grenade more suitable for rolling it over the floor, and improves the throwing characteristics as well. A lot of similar looking variants are adopted by various armed forces around the globe.
In 2006, Deep Fire released these two grenade models to the Airsoft crowd. Simulation grenades are nothing new under the sun, but they can be generally categorized in two:
While it's generally more effective to simply spray a room with an AEG to clear it, playing Airsoft is also a lot about being cool (after all, a lot of people wear sidearms even to woodland games), and the MilSim groups should also not be forgotten here.
As a result, manufacturers are developing products which would combine the aforementioned categories.
The Deep Fire MK II and M26 grenades are supplied with an orange shell for better visibility, and to highlight that it's not a real grenade. A set of green shells is included in the box. The grenades are assembled, but you need to adjust the timer before using them.
To adjust the timer, you need to separate the upper and lower body parts. Pushing the plunger shaft in the middle allows you to grab both ends to make the adjustments. It proved useful to make a mark on the part which remains on the inside of the grenade core, to use as a reference point when you adjust it. The exact adjustment is individual, but we found that opening the timer half a turn from the closed position is not enough. A 45 minute (3/4 turn) adjustment was found to be optimal in both of the test models.
Should the grenade be a dud when you test various timer settings, wait for at least 30 seconds before picking it up, to reduce the risk of having it go off in your hands and face. As usual, safety goggles should be used at all times when handling the grenade. Turning the mock fuse, which sticks out of the top of the grenade, allows the gas to start hissing and will make the grenade go off. This should be done with great care! It's not a real grenade, but used incorrectly may cause bodily harm.
Instead of only going bang, the Deep Fire airsoft grenades are also capable of blasting shells (three for the M26 and four in the MK II) in all directions. The shells fly up to ten meters (30 feet sic!) off the core when green gas is used in room temperature or warmer. This is no marketing speech. You can read the explanation and learn the trick later in this article, and see the video!
The shells are constructed of a very flexible plastic, and they weren't damaged even when they were stepped on, bent on purpose, thrown around and blown off the grenade for quite a lot of times with high pressure propellants. You can most likely re-use them over and over just as long as you are able to find them afterwards! Painting the inside of the shells with a bright color is a good trick: It's not visible to the outside, but helps finding the shells.
The external finish of the grenades is quite good, bearing in mind that the shells pretty much have to be plastic for obvious reasons. The handle and safety pin are made of steel, while the shells and collars are plastic with a nice rough texture. From a short distance it looks just like a real grenade!
There is space between the core and the shells, which allows you to load BBs as well. However, as the amount and pressure of the propellant are limited, it is important not to choke it with too many BBs. This leads us to a question: "How to load less BBs without having them lie at the bottom of the grenade?" -Redwolf will figure it out!
By taking standard 101 x 101 mm (a hair shy of 4 by 4 inches) paper notes and cutting them roughly in half, resulting in 101 x 51 mm rectangles, we created the prototype BB trampoline. (Yes, great innovations are sometimes simple!) The paper was just long enough to reach over the thick part of the core, and was secured in place by a rubber band. As the gas bursts out of the openings when the grenade goes off, the gas is trapped in a confined space created by the paper. Instead of going in between the BBs, the gas actually meets a more solid surface (not unlike a sail) and pushes it away with force. This improved the spread and distance of the BBs drastically.
Another trick we tried was to prevent the BBs from going into the bottom of the grenade. After all, the gas is released from the highest quart of the grenade, so it makes sense to pack the BBs there. It took some foam from a box of Systema gears, scissors and less than a minute to make the filler piece to hold the BBs up in the top of the grenade. The combination of this and the paper trampoline seemed to yield the best results, but especially the paper trampoline was found to be effective. The MK II seems to be in a better position to begin with, because of its smaller girth and volume, so the effect of restricting the space is even more beneficial with the M26.
The grenades seem to be a bit sensitive to temperature changes, but it is also important to make sure that it is fully loaded with the gas propellant. If the propellant is only loaded in gaseous form, it will not expand to a sufficient volume to produce a good effect. Some gas nozzles may fit too tightly to the fill nipple, preventing the remaining gas in the grenade from being replaced with liquid gas in the filling process. If this is the case, it may be advisable to make a small cut in the anti-leak O-ring, which is visible to the outside of the fill nipple, or remove the O-ring completely. We have had some reports of insufficient performance, and this is the most likely explanation: The grenade simply wasn't completely filled with gas! This trick is also most helpful, if your gas pistol is not getting as much shots as it should, and it has an anti-spill O-ring in the fill nipple.
The new Mad Bull portable CO2 refill charger for 12 gram capsules arrived just in time for the mad (pun intended) pressure tests on the grenade. The refill charger proved to be handy and easy to use, and the only other thing you need is a standard 12 gram CO2 capsule. Starting from a healthy 200 psi pressure, we went up in 50 psi increments up to 450 psi. At that point the time from throwing to going off became so short that it's no longer practical. At 300 to 400 psi the bang was really loud, and the shells flew off with a happy pace. The lower body O-ring jumped out of its groove sometimes, but it's easy to reset. In regulated form, CO2 (just like any gas) can't be in a non-gaseous form, so while the pressure is high, it does not produce the same volume of gas flow compared to green gas, as long as the tank is filled properly. CO2 seemed to give a louder and more sharp bang, but in the end the shells and BBs didn't fly much further. It also stresses the grenade more, as you can see from the picture. We don't recommend constant use at over 300 psi for these grenades.
It should be noted that gas pressure has a rather big influence on the timer. The higher the pressure is, the shorter the delay becomes. The grenade was originally designed for 134a or Top gas, so using a higher pressure makes the adjustment process rather fine. If you open the plunger shaft too much, the grenade will go off as soon as the handle (aka. "the spoon") flies off. Too much closed, and the grenade won't work at all.
At first it sounds a bit funny. Why would you maintain a grenade? Well, in the case of Deep Fire, it's obvious. The grenade can be used over and over, so it only makes sense to ensure smooth operation from blast to blast by keeping it in a good condition.
As usual with airsoft equipment with plastic parts, keeping the parts clean and a sufficient amount of silicone oil on them is all it takes to keep the grenade working for a long time. It really is this simple, and the harder part may actually be bothering to do it.
Speaking of smooth operation, we found that the three shells of the M26 variant hug the core and collar so closely in the bottom, that they don't work optimally. Fixing it only takes a sharp knife, a steady hand and a couple of minutes. It is important to avoid shortening the shells, just flaring them is enough.
All in all, the Deep Fire grenades seem to work really well for the intended purpose. The main benefit is the ability to use them safely and legally everywhere, because they don't contain any pyrotechnics. No special accessories or tools are needed for operating and loading them, just the gas and BBs are enough. Chances are, you are already carrying them for your GBB pistol!
While the performance was a slight bit lacking in the beginning, the improvement was drastic when we learnt how to use the grenades properly. The Deep Fire MK II and M26 represent what we think is at the moment the leading edge of airsoft grenades. To put it short, a great bang for the buck!

At one time or another, all of us have experienced the instantaneous recognition of a distinctive writing style. We open a memo—purported to be from our boss—but, two sentences in, we know it was ghost-written by Paul in the communications department, simply from its style. We hear a song for the first time on a music site, and we immediately recognize that it was written by Randy Newman, just from its lyrics and subject matter. We peek at an e-book page in the next cube, and clearly our colleague has downloaded a free copy of a Shakespearean play. There's no confusing The Bard's style with that of Stephen King.
Even though we know it when we see it (and miss it when we don't), a writing style often is difficult to describe or dissect. We may not be happy with our own style but be clueless as to how to change it. One way to begin is to examine six elements that impact your writing style. Each of these adds to (or subtracts from) making your style your own.
If that sounds like branding language, it is. Your writing style certainly is a crucial aspect of your personal brand. Say "Abraham Lincoln" and you're as likely to think about his Gettysburg Address or Second Inaugural Address as you are about his Civil War leadership. Winston Churchill was defined by his speech writing style as much as by any of his actions. Try adjusting or expanding on the following six elements, recognizing that one approach is not necessarily better than another and that often you may combine approaches:
- Tone: Do you write in a casual way or use inflated, formal language? Are your points made with sarcasm or humor? Does your writing sound breathless or relaxed?
- Vocabulary: Are you stuck in corporate-ese, filling in your sentences with the latest buzzwords? Or have you worked to expand you vocabulary so that you choose words with more precise meanings and less repetition? Do you enjoy a play on words or do you prefer the industry lingo?
- Perspective: Does your content reflect a comprehension of the background or history of issues and events? Or do you write from a strong understanding of current trends? Are you inclined to write from a future-oriented viewpoint, with a focus on outcomes and predictions,
rather than on origins or recent fads?
- Sentence structure: Are you adding variety to your sentences with opening clauses, transition words and a question inserted here and there? Are you avoiding repetition and ensuring that you are not simply lining up statement after statement? Are you ensuring that the most important parts of your key sentences are placed at the beginning or the end of the sentence, rather than being buried in the middle?
- Imagery: Do you bring metaphors, alliteration or other literary devices to your writing? Are you using extensive details to create mental images? Or, like Ernest Hemingway, do you prefer simple language that paints a picture and exposes character?
- Storytelling: Are you making your points with stories and examples, or do you prefer to make reasoned and cogent arguments? Do you concentrate on the impact of actions or the implementation of the actions?
You are one of a kind, and you have the power to express that individuality by making your brand more stylish.

Baltimore County police ask for help identifying man's remains
Man's remains found in Back River in September 2011
Baltimore County police are again asking for the public's help identify a composite sketch of remains found in 2011.
On Sept, 8, 2011, officers were called to the Back River under the Interstate 695 Bridge for a report of a body in the water. A witness told officers that the body had not been there early in the day. There were no signs of foul play, and the body had been in the water for a significant period of time, police said.
Authorities said despite nearly a year and a half of investigation, detectives have not been able to identify the victim through the autopsy, DNA or fingerprints and the cause of death remains undetermined.
A Baltimore County Police Department forensic artist completed a skull reconstruction in an attempt to determine what the victim may look like. Forensic artists attempt to recreate the features as closely as possible, but some features of the victim may look slightly different.
Police released the photographs to the public in October 2012 to identify the victim and notify his next-of-kin. They said they received information that the victim might be a man who was reported missing in Howard County, but detectives said they determine it is not that individual.
Detectives said they are reaching out to surrounding states and asking residents in those areas to contact Baltimore County Police if they recognize the victim, who is described as a white man, 40 to 60 years old.
Anyone with information about the identity of the victim is asked to contact the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-307-2020.

Have you ever wondered how to get more involved in the SEMA Wheel and Tire (WTC) Council?
What exactly do the council leaders do throughout their term? Very simply, the Select Committee is elected by the members of the council to serve a two-year term. They participate in monthly conference calls and meetings that are held at various trade events throughout the year. Each Select committee member volunteers for at least 20 hours throughout the year and some volunteer even more. Some share their experience and vision, others provide creative solutions to challenges our member companies are facing, and others get their hands dirty and get it done. Each Select Committee member is supported by their company in their WTC efforts and for that we say "thank you" to those companies!
The leaders of the WTC gathered together earlier this year at SEMA headquarters in Diamond Bar, California for its annual Long Range Planning meeting. This meeting focused on bringing value to the WTC Member companies. The last 18 months have been extremely challenging for all of our companies, and the council is dedicated to utilizing SEMA's resources to further benefit each WTC member.
Guiding the group's effort was the council's mission statement to "identify common problems and opportunities relating to the wheel & tire industries that the council, as an interested body of companies, can address for the common good." A handful of exciting objectives are being developed for the council over this year and next. If you are passionate and have interest in being involved, there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer for a Task Force with a limited investment of time, but provides a great way to network and share your ideas. Please reach out to the Task Force Chair if you want to participate or have comments.
Science and Technology Task Force
This group focuses on aftermarket and OEM advances that effect our industry. From creating wheel standards to improved processes for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems and Electronic Stability Control, the Science and Technology task force plays a pivotal role in the industry's' advancement.
Education Task Force
The education task force is charged with developing successful programs for members to enhance their businesses. The WTC Task Force is responsible for partnering with the SEMA Educational Institute to create and promote on-line learning resources.
Communication and Marketing Task Force
This group focuses on membership outreach, growth, and retention. It is imperative that councils effectively communicate services provided by WTC and SEMA to our members. Communication and services ensure that there is proper dialogue between leadership and membership.
SEMA Show Task Force
The SEMA Show in Las Vegas provides the backdrop for critical networking functions. This group focuses on making WTC's awards reception an ideal place to get together, honor one another, and network with all those who share a common passion.
There are so many other things the council leadership does throughout the year. You are the expert at what your business needs and this council wants to deliver. Feel free to get in touch with us or come to one of our WTC events. Our hope is that if you haven't been a part of WTC yet, you will be in 2010 and beyond.
For more information on how to join, please contact Allan Keefe or call (909) 978-6696.

Do you think you need a huge bank account to afford good whiskey? Sure, if you want some fancy, Distiller's Edition, super-peated, aged in Sauternes casks stuff, it'll cost you, but there are plenty of great and affordable whiskies. To prove the point, I put together a list of ten great whiskies available for less than $20.
All the prices listed are the going rates at Hi-Time Wine; I used Hi-Time because it has a fabulous selection and on-line ordering, and I wanted to list things that were readily available to the California consumer. I also wanted a place with mid-level prices that were fairly representative of general pricing and Hi-Time tends to be right about there; that means that you may be able to find better deals on the bottles listed. My intent isn't to seek out sales and special offers, but rather, to list whiskies that are generally affordable.
The list is in descending order of price and I tried to include a variety of whiskey types.
Bowmore Legend, Single Malt Scotch, $19.99. Yes, there is a peated single malt Scotch for under $20; enjoy the perfumey smoke of Bowmore for less than a Jackson.
Buffalo Trace, Bourbon, $19.99. As good a standard Bourbon as you'll find with a nice rye kick, Buffalo Trace may be the best bargain in whiskey, period.
The Famous Grouse, Blended Scotch Whisky, $19.99. The most popular blend in Scotland is my choice for the best blend in the under $20 category.
George Dickel No. 12, Tennessee Whiskey, $19.99. This is my favorite of the Tennessee whiskies, and one of the most underrated whiskies. Great on its own, but also the perfect whiskey for a Manhattan.
Forty Creek Barrel Select, Canadian Whisky, $18.99. One of the most heralded Canadians, with lots of sweet caramel and fruit.
Kilbeggan, Blended Irish Whiskey, $18.99. A blended Irish from Cooley that has a nice malty flavor.
Michael Collins, Blended Irish Whiskey, $18.99. An independently bottled Cooley blend for those who like it on the lighter side.
Rittenhouse 100, Rye Whiskey, $17.99. Find perfect rye balance in this 100 proof rye rye whiskey.
Wild Turkey 101 Rye, Rye Whiskey, $17.99. One of the most underrated of rye whiskies, WT 101 has a powerful rye spice and serves a good contrast to the more subtle Rittenhouse.
Tullamore Dew, Blended Irish Whiskey, $15.99. For the basic Irish category, I'll take Tullamore over the standard Jameson or Bushmills.
Ten great whiskies under $20. Now go out and stimulate that whiskey economy!

Paul Collins art from poster on The Beat Army Facebook page.
Musician Paul Collins has been recruiting power pop fans for The Beat Army, and recently posted on Facebook that he's now selling I DON'T FIT IN t shirts. The slogan on the bright red and white shirt comes from a song by the same name on the impressive 1979 self-titled debut from The Paul Collins Beat.
I didn't discover Collins until a few years after that. Back then, I still lived on Chicago's southwest side, and hung out at Haywires, an unusually adventurous bar for that area. It often booked new wave and punk bands like Bohemia, The Clocks, and Gary Jones, and held jam nights organized by Bud Monaco. One of the most popular acts was a young local band called Take Me that seemed to have an awful lot of good original songs. As it turned out, they were covering new acts like 20/20 and The Paul Collins Beat that we hadn't heard before. A bit sneaky, but ultimately, Take Me did these groups a favor by making us want to buy their albums.
The I DON'T FIT IN shirts can be purchased in person when Paul Collins performs along with Mondo Topless, Stupidity, and former Friggs member Palmyra Delran at Asbury Lanes in New Jersey on June 17th. You might also be able to buy one when he plays gigs at Proud Larry's in Oxford, MS on July 16th, along with The Neckbones; and at Hi-Tone in Memphis, TN with The Neckbones and Peter Case of The Nerves and The Plimsouls. The Beat Army had a rep hanging out at International Pop Overthrow in Chicago this past April, so hopefully that means Collins might be coming our way.
The shirts can also be ordered at firstname.lastname@example.com but according to The Beat Army, supplies are limited.

New update to Dota released, which I expect to make its way to Dota 2 within a couple of weeks, and it is HUGE.
Couple of interesting bits:
- Shadow Fiend: Upon dying half of Shadow Fiend's souls (the amount lost on death) will be released as if you had cast Requiem of Souls with those souls. This cast doesn't put the spell on cooldown and will trigger if it is on cooldown. It is now a passive component of the ability.
- Ethereal Blade: Ether Blast now does damage based on the primary attribute of the holder instead of always agility.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – The Broward Sheriff's Office is looking for the parents of a newborn left abandoned under a tree in Pompano Beach.
The boy, who believed to be between one and three days old, was found wrapped in a blanket on a patch of dirt nestled between a parking lot and 3-foot hedge at NE 2nd Street and NE 2nd Avenue.
It was a miracle anyone spotted the sleeping infant, eyewitnesses told Local 10's Christina Vazquez.
Abandoned steps away from two churches, rescued by workers at Queen's Little Angels Child Care Center and rushed to Holy Cross Hospital, observers believe divine intervention played a role in the newborn's quick discovery.
A mom, who had just picked up her child from Queen's Little Angels Child Care Center, spotted the blanket behind the hedges as she was walking home with a friend.
At that exact moment, daycare provider Jaceline Saxton of Queen's Little Angels was driving by.
"I see a lady flagging me down and she was pointing in the grass," Saxton told Local 10's Roger Lohse. "She said a baby, baby on the ground and I jumped out of my van and there was a baby laying there. The sun was beaming down on him and his mouth was very, very, dry."
Saxton said the baby was lucky to not be covered in ants.
Saxton instantly called Queen's Little Angels Director Nicole Carter, who carried the newborn to her child care center and then called 911.
Carter provided Local 10 two cell phone pictures she took of the baby boy.
"He was wrapped in a blue blanket. He had his hat on and a pacifier," said Carter. "He was sleeping. He was beautiful. He was sleeping."
The Broward Sheriff's Office tells Local 10 that while there are no physical signs of harm, it does appear that the boy's umbilical cord was not surgically cut. They don't think he was born in a medical facility.
"Oh my God, who could do something like this?" exclaimed Saxton. "If nobody would have found the baby, the baby may have died."
Carter told Local 10's Roger Lohse she thinks perhaps the mother was scared and didn't know what to do.
It is a gracious explanation but unacceptable to BSO, given Florida's Safe Haven Law. The law allows the parents of a newborn who is 7 days old or younger to drop off their baby at a fire station or hospital, no questions asked.
Investigators are now looking for the baby's parents. BSO would like to hear from anyone who knows of a woman who was pregnant and can't account for her baby now.
Meantime, the baby is doing well. Local 10 was told the baby is surrounded by much care and attention at Holy Cross Hospital.
BSO said this is now a Department of Children and Families case.
"It's sad, it's really sad," said Saxton.

Taxpayer-funded workers are paid based on the number of Americans they enroll in gov't health program
Prison Planet.com
September 26, 2013
Under Obamacare, unsolicited sales calls and spam mail will increase exponentially as taxpayer-funded workers are paid based on the number of Americans they can enroll into the government health program.
The government is granting non-profit organizations millions of dollars to hire Obamacare "Navigators" and "Assisters" who will guide Americans in the federally-sponsored insurance exchanges.
In a letter to HHS [2], the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce mentioned that one Navigator grant recipient promised to make 240,000 'robocalls' to encourage people to enroll in Obamacare.
Typically used in telemarketing, robocalls deliver a recorded message to random phone numbers in a process well-described as "robotic spam."
Telemarketing by Navigators and Assisters has been labeled "inappropriate" by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) yet the agency has not informed Congress or the American people about "any measures it has taken to prevent inappropriate marketing practices," according to the latest staff report [3] by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This report also acknowledged that in some states, Navigators and Assisters are paid based on the amount of Americans they enroll into Obamacare, effectively turning them into taxpayer-funded salespeople who work on commission.
There is no doubt that this Obamacare "sales team" will want to reach as many Americans as possible and telemarketing will skyrocket as a result.
Obamacare sales calls are already taking place.
A member of the AR-15 message board [4], LurchAddams, said that earlier this month, a telemarketer called him trying to reach his pet dog to "inform" him about his new health care options under Obamacare.
"Every time I place an order online, subscribe to a magazine, or anything that I fear is going to put me on a junk mailing or calling list, I give them my dog's first name," he said. "My dog gets all kinds of junk mail and telemarketing calls."
When LurchAddams told the telemarketer that "Fido" had no health insurance, the Obamacare "sales representative" responded by saying that under Obamacare, there would be plenty of opportunities for Fido to receive the health insurance he needs.
Unfortunately it appears that LurchAddams is one of the first of millions who will receive unsolicited phone calls and spam mail encouraging them to "sign up now to receive the best deals" of Obamacare.

Hello my friends,
Everybody in Spain talked about Jim these last days because he was really funny and (the most important!) very atentive with fans & paparazzis...many of these paparazzis said in different programs that many Spanish actors (in these case they were talking about Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz) must be like Jim
I am going to leave here some youtube links where you can see and enjoy Jim promotion of Di que si in Madrid
and also about the speech he pronunced in spanish when he received an award in Madrid (the speech was in Spanish and it was really funny!)

Gunmen attack Mexico camp-out
TOLUCA, Mexico — A gang of about a dozen armed people stormed into a church youth camp-out near Mexico City and went on an hours-long rampage of beatings, robberies and rape, authorities said Saturday.
Seven girls were raped during the Friday attack and several campers were beaten, according to the state prosecutors office in Mexico State, which surrounds the Mexican capital.
About 90 youths sponsored by a church group known as the Chains of the Holy Trinity were camping at an eco-park on the eastern outskirts of Mexico City, in a hilly area that is close to the lower flanks of the Popocatepetl volcano. Prosecutors did not say what church the group is affiliated with, but the camp-out appeared to have been a sort of spiritual retreat.
The office said that the attack lasted for hours, and that when the attackers left they stole two vehicles and other articles from the campers.
The office said investigators were pursuing two lines of inquiry, but did not reveal what they were.
Drug gangs operate on the outskirts of Mexico City, but campers and hikers have also been targeted in the past by common criminals.
The park is supposed to be patrolled by local police, but the attack occurred during the night and it was unclear whether officers were on duty at the time. Police only found out about the crimes when an adult organizer of the camp-out showed up at police offices to report the attack.
The state government said in a statement that it had witness' descriptions of the attackers and pledged to catch and punish those responsible.

Don't now about you guys but I don't see anyone displacing Nadal at the top of the rankings any time soon. Plus, if he wins the Open he must be regarded as one of the top 5 players of all time.

KABUL, Afghanistan - An airstrike by U.S.-led forces mistakenly killed four policemen and two civilians in eastern Afghanistan, an Afghan official said Thursday.
The civilians were two brothers who were in a car that was being searched by the police at a checkpoint when the strike occurred in the Deh Yak district of Ghazni province, according to district chief Fazel Ahmad Toolwak. He said NATO troops were fighting Taliban militants about 10 kilometers (six miles) away, but those killed in the strike were not involved in that battle.
The international coalition said it was looking into the report.
Afghans in the capital of the western Farah province, meanwhile, buried their friends and loved ones killed in a massive attack on the local government center the day before. In all, 55 people were killed, including nine attackers, and more than 100 were wounded on Wednesday.
Afghans currently lead about 90 percent of military operations nationwide as U.S. and other foreign combat forces prepare to withdraw by the end of 2014, shifting to a training and advisory role.
The Afghan troops remain heavily dependent on the coalition for air support and medical evacuations in areas where the Taliban and other militants live among the population and often enjoy local support. However, anger over reports of civilian killings prompted President Hamid Karzai to order Afghan security forces to stop requesting coalition airstrikes.
A NATO spokesman, U.S. Army Maj. Adam Wojack, said the international military coalition was assessing what happened in Ghazni.
"We are aware of local reports about an alleged airstrike in Ghazni province yesterday, in which several individuals were reportedly killed," he said Thursday in an email, adding the coalition "takes all allegations of this type seriously."
According to a recent report by the United Nations, 2,754 Afghan civilians were killed last year, down 12 percent from 3,131 in 2011. But the number killed in the second half of last year rose, suggesting that Afghanistan is likely to face continued violence as the Taliban and other militants fight for control.
The U.N. said the Taliban and other insurgents were responsible for 81 percent of the civilian deaths and injuries last year, while 8 percent were attributed to pro-government forces. The remaining civilian deaths and injuries could not be attributed to either side.
The number of casualties blamed on U.S. and allied forces decreased by 46 percent, with 316 killed and 271 wounded last year. Most were killed in U.S. and NATO airstrikes, although that number, too, dropped by nearly half last year to 126, including 51 children.
In Farah, the city hospital was overwhelmed with the casualties following Wednesday's attack. Helicopters ferried some of the wounded to other hospitals in nearby areas on Thursday.
Provincial Gov. Akram Akhpelwak said two more people had died from the attack, raising the death toll to 55 - 36 civilians, 10 Afghan security forces and nine attackers. More than 100 people also were wounded, he said.
"Farah is a city of sadness," one of the province's members of parliament Humaira Ayobi said in a telephone call after attending a funeral. "The stores are closed. There's no traffic in the streets."
The attack began Wednesday when two suicide bombers detonated an explosives-laden vehicle near the courthouse, shattering windows and devastating several buildings. Seven others jumped out of the pickup and ran toward the courthouse and attorney general's office, prompting an 8-hour gunbattle that left many buildings pockmarked from bullets and rocket-propelled grenades.
Ayobi described a terrifying scene, with people jumping from windows to escape and the attackers shooting everybody who got in their path, including nearly two dozen people who had taken refuge in a basement. She also said two judges were singled out to be killed in a separate room with their bodies burned.
The attackers were wearing military-style uniforms that are easily bought in Afghan markets and had painted a pickup in camouflage to disguise it as an Afghan National Army vehicle so it could bypass checkpoints, she said.
Local officials said Wednesday they believed the attackers were trying to break out 15 Taliban prisoners about to stand trial. But Ayobi said the initial target may have been the governor's compound until heavy security there forced the attackers to redirect themselves to the courthouse.
In other violence, police said a tanker truck that was part of a convoy carrying fuel for a U.S. base exploded in the Bagram district of Parwan province late Wednesday.
Deputy provincial police chief Ziaull Rahman Faiez said authorities were still investigating the cause. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility, saying it was an attack.

black, white, purple
I am not a fan of purple. Rarely I've seen it used in an appealing, grown up manner,
but I have more negative associations with the color than positive. This could fall
under the first category, a deep, romantic, bluish purple used with lots of black
contrasting clean white walls and raw wood. That golden yellow chair is doing its part
to help as well. It's hard to tell from the first image but the bedspread is purple,
or a shade of. Not bad right? Of course you're entitled to your own opinion about the color,
just don't tell me you'd rather decorate with lavender, that I could not
tolerate...but then again I may be persuaded.

This is how I used to feel about blue!

You've got to love a bit of purple - just look at how awesome that lounge looks!ReplyDelete
If you can't do furniture or walls, a purple vase or a bunch of purple flowers is a pretty nice alternative I think and that's as far as I am committed to purple at my place!

Lightning Re-Sign D Brian Lee To Two-Year Contractby Staff Writer / Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed defenseman Brian Lee to a two-year, one-way contract today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced.
Lee, 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, played in 20 games with Tampa Bay after being acquired from the Ottawa Senators on February 26 in exchange for defenseman Matt Gilroy. Following his Bolts debut on February 28 he went on to record eight assists and 17 shots on goal while averaging 17:05 in ice time. In 2011-12, with both the Tampa Bay and Ottawa, he combined for career-highs in games played with 55, assists with 15 and points with 16.
A native of Moorhead, Minnesota, Lee has played in 187 career NHL games with the Lightning and Senators. He has amassed five goals and 31 points after making his debut during the 2007-08 season. In 2008-09 he ranked sixth among all rookie defensemen in points with 13 and shots with 51. Lee also ranked ninth among first-year blue liners in average ice time with 18:53. He has played in four career Stanley Cup playoff games, all with Ottawa during the 2008 playoffs.
Lee played NCAA hockey for the University of North Dakota, appearing in 82 games in two seasons. He was named to the WCHA All-Rookie Team in 2005-06. Lee has also represented the United States at the World Junior Championships on two occasions, playing in a total of 14 games.
Lee was drafted by the Senators in the first round, ninth overall, of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

At the inauguration of Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gives his regards to the mayor's wife and children. Fulop is unmarried and has no kids.
Four of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's Cabinet officials abruptly cancelled meetings with Steve Fulop, the newly elected mayor of Jersey City, on the same day Fulop's political aides said the mayor would not endorse Christie's bid for re-election, according to documents obtained by NBC News.
The cancellations, all of which took place within an hour of each other, were cited by Assemblyman John Wisniewski, the Democrat who chairs the state panel investigating the George Washington Bridge lane closures, as evidence that Christie and his top aides had "essentially an enemies list," and that Fulop, the mayor of the state's second largest city, was on it for refusing to endorse Christie in last fall's gubernatorial race.
A "Mayor's Day" conference for Fulop to meet Christie's cabinet members on July 23, 2013 had been arranged by Bridget Kelly, Christie's then deputy chief of staff, and facilitated by Bill Stepien, Christie's campaign manager, according to emails and text messages obtained by NBC News under an Open Records law request.
"I know the Gov is sending quite a contingent of his Cabinet up to you on the 23rd," Stepien wrote in a July 12 text message, just 12 days after Christie spoke at Fulop's inauguration. Fulop, a Democrat, had unseated incumbent Democrat Jerramiah Healy in a May 14 election.
The "Mayor's Day" conference was due to include meetings for Fulop with five top New Jersey officials, including the state Treasurer, the deputy commissioner of transportation and the heads of three other major departments, Community Affairs, Office Recovery and Rebuilding, and Economic Development. Bill Baroni, one of Christie's top appointees to the Port Authority, which oversees the George Washington Bridge, was also due to attend.
But at 4:53 p.m. on July 18, Fulop's scheduler, Nancy Warlikowski, emailed the mayor saying, "within the past hour, I have received phone calls" from four of the officials telling her they were cancelling due to "scheduling conflicts" and they "offered no alternative dates." The next day, July 19, Baroni cancelled his meeting. The following Monday, Michelle Brown, the chief of New Jersey's Economic Development Authority, and the only one left on the schedule for "Mayor's Day," also cancelled.

Fulop's spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said in the days leading up to the cancellations there were "multiple conversations among Fulop allies to Christie allies stating no endorsement would be forthcoming prior to and on July 18th."
Fulop directed Warlikowski to "try and reschedule. See what they say," on July 26, one email shows. He also pressed Baroni for a meeting in an Aug. 1 email. But when he heard nothing back he expressed his suspicions that political payback might be at work.
"I am not sure if it is a coincidence that your office cancelled a meeting several weeks back that seemed to be simultaneous to other political conversations elsewhere that were happening," Fulop wrote in an Aug. 18 email to Baroni. "Prior to that you were always very responsive and I sincerely hope the two issues are not related as it wouldn't be in the PA [Port Authority], Jersey City, or the residents of the state's best interest."
There is no indication from the newly released documents that Baroni ever responded prior to his resignation from the Port Authority in December.

"Certainly, that's not the way the governor should be treating the mayor of one of our largest cities," said Assemblyman Wisniewski. "You look at this in a totality, you're looking at essentially an enemies list."
One of the emails about the George Washington Bridge lane closures released last week alluded to the unhappiness of Christie aides with Fulop. After Baroni got an email reporting that Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich had left an "urgent" phone message complaining about the traffic jams at the bridge, Christee staffer Kelly emailed another Christee appointee, David Wildstein, asking "Did he call him back?"—apparently asking whether Baroni had returned Sokolich's call. Wildstein replied: "Radio silence. His name comes right after Mayor Fulop."
In a statement, Christie spokesman Colin Reed said that "Mayor Fulop's words and actions must be viewed through the lens of partisan politics and his attempt to advance his own personal agenda. ... That doesn't change the fact that Governor Christie and everyone in his administration will continue working on behalf of Jersey City and all its residents."

Women: Marry a Man Uglier than You!
Courtesy of Smith Files
The best marriages are those where women marry men who are less attractive than themselves, research has found.
Psychologists who studied newlyweds found men who were better-looking than their wives were more likely to be unhappy and have negative feelings about their marriage.
In couples where the wife is more attractive, both partners tended to be very content.
The research, published in the Journal of Family Psychology, suggests that, in evolutionary terms, women are less choosy about their man's looks as long as he is able to help them reproduce.
Men, however, are programmed to choose a mate who is most likely to pass on their genes and look for youth, health and physical attractiveness. The tests involved 82 couples married within the previous six months.
